Subject: [PATCH v3 00/21] Track shared pages at EL2 in protected mode

Hi all,

This is v3 of the patch series previously posted here:

https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20210726092905.2198501-1-qperret@google.com/

This series aims to improve how the nVHE hypervisor tracks ownership of
memory pages when running in protected mode ("kvm-arm.mode=protected" on
the kernel command line).

The main issue with the existing ownership tracking code is that it is
completely binary: a page is either owned by an entity (e.g. the host)
or not. However, we'll need something smarter to track shared pages, as
is needed for virtio, or even just host/hypervisor communications.

This series introduces a few changes to the kvm page-table library to
allow annotating shared pages in ignored bits (a.k.a. software bits) of
leaf entries, and makes use of that infrastructure to track all pages
that are shared between the host and the hypervisor. We will obviously
want to apply the same treatment to guest stage-2 page-tables, but that
is not really possible to do until EL2 manages them directly, so I'll
keep that for another series.

The series is based on the kvmarm/fixes branch, and has been tested on
AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) and using various Qemu configurations.

Changes since v2:
 - Renamed and refactored the find_range() path for host memory aborts;
 - Added hyp_assert_lock_held() using Will's hyp_spin_is_locked()
   helper, and sprinkled a few of them throughout the series;
 - Changed how host stage-2 mappings are adjusted after __pkvm_init() by
   walking the hyp stage-1 instead of relying on the host calling
   __pkvm_mark_hyp.

Changes since v1:
 - Changed the 'share' hypercall to accept a single page at a time;
 - Dropped the patch allowing to continue stage-2 map when hitting the
   EAGAIN case;
 - Dropped some of the custom pgtable walkers and used Marc's get_leaf()
   patch instead;
 - Changed pgtable API to manipulate SW bits directly rather than
   specifying shared pages;
 - Added comments and documentations all over;
 - Cleanups and small refactoring.

Thanks,
Quentin
